Honoré de Balzac

(1799–1850) · French Novelist

Was a French novelist and playwright. The novel sequence La Comédie humaine, which presents a panorama of post-Napoleonic French life, is generally viewed as his magnum opus.

A husband who submits to his wife's yoke is justly held an object of ridicule. A woman's influence ought to be entirely concealed.
Political liberty, the peace of a nation, and science itself are gifts for which Fate demands a heavy tax in blood!
A flow of words is a sure sign of duplicity.
When law becomes despotic, morals are relaxed, and vice versa.
A man is a poor creature compared to a woman.
Many men are deeply moved by the mere semblance of suffering in a woman; they take the look of pain for a sign of constancy or of love.
What is a child, monsieur, but the image of two beings, the fruit of two sentiments spontaneously blended?
Love or hatred must constantly increase between two persons who are always together; every moment fresh reasons are found for loving or hating better.
Love may be or it may not, but where it is, it ought to reveal itself in its immensity.
The duration of passion is proportionate with the original resistance of the woman.
